This month we turned nine! Nine whole years of joy, learning, triumph and the challenges of running a small but global business with a greater purpose. As we head into our tenth year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect with you.
In honor of our ninth birthday this month, we have found some of the most fun birthday party inspo that pulls in some of the good, old-fashioned fun we so loved as kids ourselves.
As June is pride month, and with all of the other noise in the world today, it’s a good time for us to talk to our kids about the meaning of accepting ourselves and others, for exactly who we are.
All items ship within 72 hours with the exception of our Personalized Designer Dolls, which can take up to 2 weeks, as they are made to order.

Within the United Arab Emirates it takes 1-2 days and internationally it takes 3-5 days. Most of our international orders ship via FedEx. You will receive a tracking number by email once the courier has collected your order from our studio.
Where does my doll ship from?
